Brooklyn is a community on the North River a dozen miles northeast of Raymond in northeast Pacific County. The name was assigned by the post office department when the post office was established December 10, 1891. When asked, local residents, suggested that the name Clifton be used for Cliff Roberts, son of Clfford Roberts. Since there was already a Clifton in Mason county that name was rejected. The post office closed on May 16, 1969.
